Nicholas Strang, PAC appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Physician Assistant provider holding PAC credentials at 1700 W STOUT STREET, Rice Lake, WI, 54868, with a listed phone of (715) 236-8100. NPI 1831569169 was issued on 09/29/2015. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Strang most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 225 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 129 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $948 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 29.8%. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 82.4/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 76.4, Cost 50.3), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Physician Assistant is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 149,975 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 790 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

Inclusion here does not imply a recommendation, and absence of complaints or sanctions on this page does not mean none exist — always verify credentials through the NPPES NPI Registry, your state medical board, and the ABMS or AOA before making healthcare decisions.
